Edema is a medical condition wherein the body suffers from certain fluid buildup. This buildup occurs due to a variety of medical conditions. Normally, this occurs when there is too much water being dumped that the lymphatic system, the one responsible for the draining of excess water, becomes unable to cope up with the volume of water that needs to be drained. Another reason is that the lymphatic system or part of it is no longer functioning properly. When any of these two happens, edema or fluid buildup occurs. To stop such buildup, you need to buy Lasix as treatment. Read more…

I was “birthed” into the world of yoga through the Iyengar style where precision and alignment are emphasized. My teacher would adjust our poses starting from our pinky toe (literally – she’d have us lift it up and try to spread it away from our other toes) all the way to the tops of our heads (which, she would tell us, should be lifting toward the ceiling, as if a string was attached to our scalp and someone was pulling).

I’m one of those follow the rules, read the directions, life is in the details type of girls, so I ate Iyengar yoga up. The fact that my hamstrings are tight, my shoulders are scrunched, and my hips are narrow make Iyengar a fitting practice because I benefit so greatly from the blocks and straps and blankets that are generously encouraged in that style of practice to help with proper positioning.

From time to time I’ve experimented with other yoga styles – this article describes various kinds – and recently I found myself in a session where the teacher was leading a flow with pretty much no regard to form whatsoever.

In an Iyengar class, the instructor is always adjusting my Warrior II pose. I’m like a toy where you push one section in and another section pops out. If she moves my left thigh, my right knee tweaks to a different place. If she tilts my pelvis, my arms plummet. If she tells me where to fix my gaze – whoops – there goes my thigh again.

Anyway, I realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want to spend the entire practice mentally upset that this yoga teacher wasn’t going to focus on form. Other than calling out the pose, she was giving no instructions, and deep inside I knew that was okay. Because yoga really isn’t about form. Not at its core. It’s about being in a present state of mind. Finding a place where I’m not worrying about the future or obsessing over the past, even if those thoughts relate to yoga itself. As I continued the flow, I let go of the details and the precision and simply enjoyed the movement.

Male impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED) is not exactly a serious condition when put in the context of life-threatening. No, male impotence is in no way this serious. However, what makes this condition serious for every man that has it is that part of what makes them a man and mostly their main asset that provides them satisfaction and relief from sexual urges is no longer functioning properly. This is because penile erection is needed to perform sexual intercourse successfully. Otherwise, vaginal penetration is not possible.

The truth is male impotence is not a rare condition as nearly one in five men will have or experience it with some varying points of severity. The problem with this condition though is that, like it or not, if you are a man who is very sexually active, it is an embarrassing condition. In fact, most men with ED prefer not to discuss it with other men, even friends for that matter. They usually keep the condition either to just themselves, or with their partners and personal doctor. There have even been cases where the breakup of couples is due to the male not being able to provide the sexual needs of the female. Such is the dilemma of men with ED. Read more…
